Excellent writeup.

[Armbian for Pine64+?]

Hi,

 

Pine 64's delivery is in full swing and thousands of people are receiving/received their Pine64 boards (Mine is scheduled for May). One of the survey shows that majority of the people have chosen to install linux on their boards. Many people are struggling to find a good image for their boards and current some what stable image is based on already end of life 3.10 kernel and there is promising development by sunxi. I am sure that thousands will get benefited if they get Armbian for Pine64. So How about Armbian for Pine 64?

[High Swap Utilization and CPU Utilization on OrangePi PC]

I tried this

 

sysctl.conf:

vm.swappiness=0 

vm.min_free_kbytes=0
 

fstab:

#/var/swap none swap sw 0 0 
then "echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches" 

 

But now its randomly killing the processes.

[High Swap Utilization and CPU Utilization on OrangePi PC]

Hi,

 

I am running same distributed processes on my RaspberryPI Model 2B running Raspbian Jessie and two OrangePI PC's running Armbian 5.05. Though i have enough ram available i found that there is high SWAP utilization on my OrangePI PC's. Also one CPU will be always 100% in OrangePI PC's.

 

I have swappiness = 1 for both OrangePI PC's and Raspberry PI.

ulimit -l = unlimited for RaspBerryPi and

ulimit -l = 64 for OrangePI PC's.

 

 

Attached is the screenshot:-

From left:- (1) RaspBerryPi. (2) OrangePi PC, (3) OrangePi PC.

 

How can i limit the swap usage and high CPU for OrangePI PC?
